Testimonials: Live & Learn Spanish

The three weeks that I spent in Rabat were truly incredible. The staff at Languages Abroad really worked to help make sure that I had the best time that I could. The school where a studied provided an excellent learning environment. Not only did I learn a lot about the Arabic language, but I also had ample opportunities to explore the city and the country through the school.

All of the Languages Abroad services were very helpful. I especially appreciated the pre-departure information package that was sent beforehand. This helped me to better understand some of the cultural norms in Morocco and provided other information. All of the support that I received from Languages Abroad personnel, by phone and email, was always helpful, timely, and courteous.

I really loved the school. The facilities, which included a beautiful garden, a computer lab, and a number of classrooms, were all very nice. The instructors were all very professional and knowledgeable. This, coupled with the small class sizes, created a very good learning environment.

I would highly recommend the Languages Abroad program for those looking for a good study abroad experience. Thanks for allowing me this great experience!"
(Giovanni, age 21)

I loved the atmosphere of the whole country. It was relaxed, friendly, and welcoming. I felt at home at the school. The curriculum was challenging, but not impossible. The teacher was friendly and created a good learning environment. If you have the time and money, the experience is worth all you can afford.

I ve always been interested in travel and language. I had heard that studying in the country a language is spoken is far better than any other method. I was excited to give it a shot. A friend told me about Languages Abroad. It seemed so practical for me. They were so helpful with the details of my trip that I didn t have to worry. The program itself was fantastic. I didn t want to leave and I can t wait to come back."
(Naomi, age 20)

"The instructors are fantastic. They are patient, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you truly understand and learn. Whether you're struggling with grammar or need help with pronunciation, they are there every step of the way. The school itself is in a quaint, charming neighborhood near the beach, making it an ideal location for both studying and relaxing after class. You'll find yourself surrounded by tapas bars, local shopping, and convenient accommodations. Plus, you'll make lifelong friends from all around the globe, creating memories that extend far beyond the classroom. I can't wait to go back for another enriching experience.

The staff at Languages Abroad was also incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. The website provided all the information I needed, and the pre-departure details were useful in preparing for the trip. While knowing a little Spanish will definitely help, the experience is made easy by arranging arrival transportation, which simplifies getting to the school and settling in quickly. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, both culturally and academically." (Sean, age 35)

FAQs about learning Arabic abroad

For beginners, learning Arabic can seem challenging, but with a structured approach, it becomes manageable and rewarding. Start by choosing the type of Arabic you want to learn-Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for formal use, or a dialect like Egyptian or Levantine for conversational purposes.

  • Learn the Arabic Alphabet: Begin with mastering the script, as Arabic is written right to left. Focus on recognizing letters and their different forms depending on their position in words.
  • Build Basic Vocabulary: Learn common words, phrases, and expressions used in everyday conversations.
  • Understand Pronunciation: Practice the unique sounds of Arabic letters, including emphatic consonants and guttural sounds, to develop correct pronunciation.
  • Study Grammar Gradually: Arabic grammar is logical but complex. Start with basic sentence structures, verb conjugations, and gender rules.
  • Use Language Tools: Apps can help you practice vocabulary and grammar interactively.
  • Enroll in a Course: Join a language class for structured lessons and professional guidance.
  • Immerse Yourself: Watch Arabic movies, listen to music or podcasts, and try to use Arabic in real-life situations.
  • Practice Daily: Dedicate time each day to reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Consistency is key!

By combining these methods, beginners can build a strong foundation and make steady progress in learning Arabic.

Arabic is considered challenging for English speakers, but it's not impossible to learn with dedication and the right approach. The U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI) classifies Arabic as a Category IV language, requiring approximately 2,200 hours of study to achieve proficiency.

Key challenges include:

  • Script: Arabic uses a unique script written from right to left, with connected letters that change shape depending on their position in a word.
  • Pronunciation: Some Arabic sounds, like the guttural "ق" (qaf) or "ع" (ayn), are unfamiliar to English speakers.
  • Grammar: Arabic grammar includes complex verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and a root system for vocabulary.
  • Dialects: Regional variations (e.g., Egyptian, Levantine) differ significantly from Modern Standard Arabic, making it tricky to choose which to learn first.

However, Arabic has logical rules, a relatively consistent pronunciation system, and a rich cultural context to explore. With regular practice, immersion in Arabic media, and guidance from structured courses, English speakers can steadily make progress and enjoy the rewards of learning this fascinating language.

  • Learn Roots and Patterns: Arabic is based on root words and patterns. Understanding these structures will help you memorize and derive related words more easily.
  • Practice Daily: Dedicate time each day to revising new vocabulary and practicing pronunciation to build consistency.
